@_elena @pluralistic @mike @mia That was a really good one! I love Mike's interviews. There are always empowering to me as they show that things can be better and people are actually working on that. Makes me feel less weird in my industry where no one actually see this.

Cory is the best. Every time I listen to him I feel like I've gotten smarter.

He's still on tour for his new book too, I wish he was coming back to the east coast so I could see him again

@_elena @pluralistic @mike @mia I loved the part where Cory is like "then companies make you use apps that are just skinned browsers that you can't install an ad blocker in and steal your data" and the flipboard guy has to sit there uncomfortably :)
